people say assimilation this and that and that the ranks are gonna be thinning but look at this and that prostitution bust Marino was caught up in - lots of relatively young associates. There's always gonna be a ton of young kids with vowel on the end of their name trying to make a fast buck, especially on staten island and little pockets of brooklyn. and because they're young and didn't grow up piss poor people think they're stupid, spoiled, flashy - that might be the case quite often but then again those are only the ones we hear about. there are always gonna be exceptions to the rule. another example about how the mob in NY isnt going anywhere
Amen to that...and these things have been siad since the '50s. Still...
I agree. The mob will always be around, although somewhat weaker, in places like the outer boroughs of New York City and the surrounding suburbs. It's the dwindling Italian populations elsewhere that's eroding the mob as a force on the national scale. The mob will never again be a major force in places like St. Louis, Tampa or Kansas City, to name just a few.
The idea of having ruling panels instead of a boss is probably a good idea on their part. It will help them hang on because the Feds will never allow a Carlo Gambino type of supreme leader to rule ever again.
